on the one hand i hate how differentiated the media landscape is that I feel like I sign up for a newsletter every other week. on the other hand I feel like I'm getting better, more incisive writing and reading people's whose opinions I respect rather than just whatever the lamestream serves up. I love that I read Hell World on Defector and Feinberg in Hell World. It's like cutting the cable cord which felt so great five years ago but now I have 12 different streaming logins. I don't know what the solution to that is but anyways, going to go subscribe to Trashberg now obviously.
"I’m also really pleasantly surprised that the majority of the commenters seem to have liked it which was not necessarily a given." Defector is one of the only sites I read where the comments are genuinely good and worth reading. It turns out charging people $99 for the privilege of being able to make comments, and having a TOS which states commenting privileges can be revoked if you're an asshole, helps create a non-toxic discourse!
I was at that Strand event and at one point Ashley said something that made me laugh a little too hard and I made a weird screeching noise and it still haunts me

That was indeed a fun time, you signed my copy of hellworld. Regrettably, the title is still accurate.
